CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Volkswagen Golf R
overall
Summary
With 135 currently listed for sale and an average price of $22,586.00, 31.9% of 2017 Volkswagen Golfs R for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Volkswagen Golf R 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.83 / 10.
65.9% of 2017 Golf R models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Volkswagen Golf R stands out as a performance hatchback that tries to blend everyday usefulness with serious speed. It reinforces the Golf’s do-nearly-anything character with all-wheel drive and a lot of extra power, while also aiming to improve value with standard front and rear parking sensors, lane-departure warning and intervention, and auto high beams. The result is a car that is meant to feel at home both on a winding road and on the daily commute.
What makes this version especially distinctive is that the added equipment is no longer optional in the way it had been earlier in the year. To get a Golf R, buyers now have to accept navigation and Dynamic Chassis Control as part of the package, along with the safety systems, and that pushes the price to $41,295. That elevated price is the main tradeoff, but the payoff is a hatchback that combines the manic attitude of a canyon carver with the smooth power of a freeway cruiser.

Reviewed a 2017 Volkswagen Golf R on Aug 5, 2021
The Gold R features are awesome for New England weather. The all wheel drive is a must have for the snow with the convenience of a smaller car. i realized the price of vehicle went up a lot since the pandemic. This has also happened with car rentals amongst other important daily needs. I wish these cars were at a palatable price range. I cant compare this model to any other because of those features and i am biased.
